Number of Players Per Class On All (rating) 2000+ Teams:
Warrior 35
Paladin 33
Mage 28
Priest 27
Shaman 17
Hunter 13
Rogue 12
Druid 8
Warlock 6
If these numbers are correct (I haven't personally checked) I doubt the nerf was due to dominance in the arena. Excessive threat while tanking I can see (I've thought of Druids as superior 5-man tanks for a long time due to Swipespam and am very glad to see Warriors getting Thunderclap in Defensive Stance.) "Happy Birthday! Did you like your new toy! *snatch*" will rankle for a while though, as will the big chunk out of our no-pots no-healthstones no-last stand no-shield wall survivability.
Those are only 5vs5. And that is less than 200 people out of 7 million that play the game. I wouldn't say that is a very accurate representaion of anything. From what I've heard from arene play all the druids and warlocks are probably destorying everyone in 2vs2 and 3vs3 to be busy in 5vs5 :P.
